The Future in Focus: Advancing International Education in Times of Uncertainty

Building on the success of last year’s inaugural international partnerships stream, CBIE2025 will once again feature a dedicated program highlighting global collaboration and deepening connections between Canadian and international post-secondary institutions.

This specialized stream will include country-focused sessions, roundtable discussions, and curated networking opportunities designed to highlight international delegations. It provides a dynamic platform for exploring partnership opportunities, sharing innovations, and fostering meaningful institution-to-institution connections.
